Hello Hive & 3Speak Community members,

With this post, allow me to share some updates on 3Speak Mobile app.

Background

  • I am currently working on the Mobile App.
  • For the mobile app, we are using cross-platform-app-development called Flutter.
  • Cross-platform-app-dev = with little code, you support iOS, Android, etc.
  • But it comes with it’s own limitations
  • Those limitations are hitting hard & causing issues in the app.

List of issues

With Flutter, we have several issues & limitation on Video player

  • Changing orientation causes video play from beginning
  • Full screen has several issues on Android
  • Background Video player not working properly
  • Picture in Picture mode not supported
  • Chrome cast, AirPlay not supported
  • On Android, most of the videos, only play sound & shows black screen
  • Video playback speed changes related issues
  • Video player crash
  • Issues while playing 3Shorts videos
  • Video player doesn’t support subtitles
  • Upgrading 3rd party video player library may cause several issues
  • We’re using multiple 3rd party video libraries to play videos & shorts for iOS & Android
  • With those many issues, I kept thinking on what needs to be done.

Why Now?

  • At the moment, we are doing a lot of refactoring and making open source contribution.
  • With acela-core, SpkNetwork is trying to keep the back-end code completely open-source.
  • With GraphQL, Any one can use queries & use it in their DApp.
  • Such Massive refactoring work also made me think about the refactoring mobile app.
  • I am already re-writing the most of the screens with GraphQL & Acela-core, why not native?
  • So, I worked on a separate code-base/repository to build the native app for iOS users.

Demo Items

  • Feeds switching on Top bar / Quick switch Feeds
  • Play video & Explore feed at the same time (landscape)
  • Hide Side Menu to get full window experience
  • Full Screen Video experience
  • Work & Play video, Picture in Picture mode
  • Change Playback speed without any issues

I commend you for your hard work and dedication in developing the 3Speak Mobile app. Despite the limitations you have faced with Flutter, your determination to provide a better user experience for your users through a native app is truly inspiring.

It's impressive to see that you are already re-writing most of the screens with GraphQL and Acela-core, and now venturing into native app development for iOS users. Your willingness to explore new technologies and improve the app's functionality shows that you are committed to delivering the best possible user experience.

Your demo items showcase the progress you have made so far, and I am confident that with your continued efforts, the 3Speak Mobile app will become even better. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing the updates you have in store for us.

Best of luck!
